[Even Katara can only deny the effects of the dreams so long. It wasn't so bad at first when they were just vivid and of a different Luceti... but this other world, with these strange people she feels connected to, and the strange consistency of them, as if they were actually telling a story ( Read more... )

chickening out of written, messing with a little girl's dream, love - it seemed like only yesterday, out and about, run into her anywhere, filters make the world go round, fix what you can, nightmares and daydreams, au! not fun, life is so simple here, practice practice practice, message in a bottle

Tell me when and where.

[Filtered] markofthebrave April 27 2011, 23:12:24 UTC

[...he sounds so serious.]

After dinner okay with you? I don't want to take you away from work or anything. We can meet by the middle bridge.

[Filtered] burningdownfate April 28 2011, 01:36:58 UTC

[It's been a long day, Katara.]

Yeah, that's fine. It'll give me a little time to finish up a couple things.

[Filtered --> Action] markofthebrave April 28 2011, 01:56:56 UTC

All right - 7:30. I'll see you then.

[And she closes the journal with a brief smile at him before continuing on her day. She doesn't bother to do more than the most basic freshening up before meeting him at the bridge later.]

[Action] burningdownfate April 29 2011, 03:03:02 UTC

[He's there early, idly throwing rocks into the water. He sees her coming, drops the last few pebbles in his hand, and gives her a small wave. It's a little subdued, but he's genuinely happy to see her.]

[Action] markofthebrave April 29 2011, 03:21:47 UTC

[Boy, you would not believe her day.

But she's glad to see you too. Even if the dreams... and Jet... yeah. She's still glad to see you.]

Hey.

[Action] burningdownfate April 29 2011, 20:35:15 UTC

[Try him. He knows unbelievable days.]

What's up?

[Action] markofthebrave April 29 2011, 21:31:19 UTC

[Katara has the unfortunate experience of knowing that bridges are public places for these things... and taking her dreams and Jet's ramblings into account... maybe public would be better.

...or maybe she should trust what she knows. And she knows that she... well...

She inclines her head invitingly.]

Let's walk a bit. We can go down the river.

[Action] burningdownfate April 30 2011, 00:59:56 UTC

[It's been a long day and Zuko would like nothing better than to just run and hide and forget about it all. Katara wants to walk, though, and the river is peaceful. She's good company and he's not regretted a single thing they've done together over the past few days.]

Yeah, let's walk.

[Action] markofthebrave April 30 2011, 02:21:04 UTC

[So Katara leads the way off the bridge and down to the riverbank. She takes them further away from the town, and for a time they walk in silence as she gathers her thoughts.]

...I wanted to ask you if you were having dreams too.

[Action] burningdownfate April 30 2011, 21:42:09 UTC

[Trust Katara to cut straight to one thing that Zuko didn't want to talk about. He's silent for a long moment before he nods.]

Weird ones. They don't make much sense.

[Action] markofthebrave April 30 2011, 22:11:28 UTC

Oh. [Well. Hmm.

How do you lead into - 'You feature in my dreams as my mortal enemy' with the boy you like? This question occupies Katara for a few steps, weighs even more heavily on her due to Jet's warnings...]

Did you... recognize anyone in your dreams?

[Action] burningdownfate April 30 2011, 22:50:47 UTC

[Short answer: Yes. He recognized her and Sokka and Toph. They had all played such different parts than what he was used to. He'd never go after Katara like that and Jet was his best friend. The brother he'd never had.]

Some people. Plenty I didn't recognize either.

[Action] markofthebrave April 30 2011, 23:18:11 UTC

[Katara slants him a sidelong glance.]

Sokka and I... we had a lot of things in our dreams that were the same. Even Jet...

[Katara stops and looks up at him for a moment and then looks away.]

...I don't like the dreams I had about you.

[Action] burningdownfate May 1 2011, 00:10:50 UTC

[You know what, Katara? He didn't like the dreams he had about himself either.]

They're just dreams.

[Action] markofthebrave May 1 2011, 00:20:30 UTC

[He's right. They're just dreams. ...all the same, she has to know.]

...were we fighting, in your dreams?

[Fighting with moves she'd never seen, with passion and desperation that she'd never known...]
